Toyota 4Runner Change Vehicle

"Calipers on front left has seized twice in past year"

"have routine maintenance and regular inspection of this system. Problem should have been detected befor expensive repain was necessary"

"Left caliper was sticking. This was the original caliper. The symptom was uneven braking"

"Both rear calipers were found to be not functioning when routine pad replacement was done"

"I needed a $1000 repair to fix my front brakes. They said something about the part failed that engages the rotors to the pads"

"Premature seizure of 2 calipers, had to replace... no point in keeping faded rotors as that would have led to vibration etc. so replaced them (4) as well"

"Was not installed correct"

"Premature brake wear probably due to additional weight of the 4 wheel drive transfer case and differential"

"third time rotors replaced on rear wheels"

"Needed replacing"

"Rotors were warped and had to be milled flat"

"Needed replacement"

"it was just normal wear"

"normal brake wear"

"Probably a side result of the premature brake wear"

"squeaked when you applied brakes. Had them replaced. Normal wear and tear"

"engineering defects, by design, at the beginning of the pedal push break pads are 80% full, many owners complain, thinking to go with ceramic"

"Brakes would not work. Emergency light was on"

"Routine wear and tear with LA freeway driving demands, standard full maintenance and brake relining to ensure maximum safety"

"original breaks needed replacing"

"replace pads"

"Different braking release points"

"I experienced a modest vibration in the steering wheel when I applied the brakes to slow down when traveling at a highway speed, from about 55 mph to get to a stop or slow to 25 or so. I took the car to a repair shop of trust, and they examined the"

"Low beams have never adequately illuminated the road. Bulbs burn out too frequently. Exterior headlight lenses yellow quickly, requiring frequent restoration. This is especially problematic due to the fact that the lights are too dim when the lenses are clear"

"Left headlight would randomly cut out. Pulling/reinstalling the low beam bulb got it working again, until the next time. Still tracking down problem. Just replaced bulb to see if that solves it"

"Left directional signal bulb burned out and had to be replaced"

"Left taillight would randomly cut out. Associated with the headlight problem. Pulling/reinstalling headlight low beam bulb got things working again. Just replaced headlight bulb to see if that solves the problem"

"Brake light switch failed"

"LED stop light on the back spoiler dosen't work"

"The dashboard light failed and I cannot see the time or the temperate. The shop said it would be very expensive to replace"

"One half of the dash panel lights that happens to display the clock has burned out. My mechanic said that they would need to replace the whole module and it would be expensive. I have not been to the dealer. It's annoying"

"Interior lights behind console burn out making it difficult (nearly impossible at night) to use the computer and clock"

"Tire pressure sensors are beginning to die. I wasn't aware that they are battery operated and last up to 10 years. They are very expensive to replace ($100 per tire and there are 5)"

"Tire pressure monitors are not efficatious. Some things should remain the responsibility of the vehicle operator. Sensors fail, and the cost to correct is ridiculous (comparable to tire replacement cost). I now drive forever with an illuminated low pressure warning light. I am considering disabling the system. People who can't maintain adequate pressure in their tires shouldn't be allowed to drive. Manufacturers should put their time and money into developing a system that won't let drivers"

"Needs battery in tire pressure sensor"

"The tire pressure gage light comes on and remains on even after ensuring adequate pressure of the tire"

"The monitor is malfunctioned twice and is very expensive to fix"

"Seems to come on when the outside air temp is colder. May just be compression of air?"

"Lights lit up saying my 4 wheel drive was not working, plus a few other lights - have engine checked - turned out to be gas cap wire - it was replaced and all is well since"

"lighting has gone out. can't see items at night"

"The exterior rear lift gate latch cover has melted and will not open. There is no other method to open the rear lift gate other than this latch. The latch is protected from the elements and the part should have a recall issued. Very dissatisfied"

"The ECU for the keyless entry stopped working and will no longer open the door lock actuators. The only way to open the doors is via the driver's side keyed lock"

"many of interior parts in rear fall off easily or do not stay on. around 6th & 7th seat hardware, corner access covers, seatbelt hardware covers"

"Surface rust on the tailgate"

"Rust caused hole in rear lift gate"

"Several areas of exterior body are starting to rust. May be due to living in Colorado with road mag chloride"
